Hi! My name is Martha and I am an Atheist... I've been clean for over twenty years...
Though when the Census guy finally caught me last year I told him that I was a Jedi Knight and I worship His Holy Tentacled One: FSM.... From the reaction I got, I gathered he had heard this one before... His snorting didn't sound like laughter, it sounded like derision....
I was raised JW by a pill addicted booze hound whore, sorry, whores get paid she was just a slut.... I woke up and checked out other "religions"... all the same fuzzy do gooder gimme money so I can feel good go to heaven brainless BS, HYPOCRISY!! !! and lies. The slut wasted almost forty years of her life trying to become one of them, she never even realized she drank the Cool-Aid. Got herself "baptized", whoo-dee-doo, then got herself dis-fellowshipped when she committed adultery....... *snicker*
No deity, maybe beings, like ourselves, far superior of course, way off in some far flung galaxy far far away. We as a species will never get to meet any of them, our planet will be star food long before anyone comes to enlighten us. We are on our own Kats and Kittens, get over it. No heaven, no hell. We are the top of the food chain, as sad as that is.
Things needs to be real for me, I have to be able to see it, smell it, touch it, taste it, etc etc Everything needs to be quantifiable. If I do not understand something right away, I will research it to death until I know every little bitty scrap of information about it. The moment someone says the word "faith" to me, my warning system goes into full BS mode (the "you just need to BELIEVE" people are included by proxy).
I get into brutal arguments with my boyfriend about religion (converted from christian to jewish), I think he's slowly becoming an Atheist, I guess what I have said, at great length at times, has made some sense. That and he loves bacon (who doesn't?) and he can not resist my candied ham.....
People call me odd, or say I have a weird way of thinking about things... I'm just struggling to stay alive on a planet infested with this mental disease called "religion".
